Just imagine ..a big trailer vehicle moving on a very high speed..Then an ordinary man just like you and I wearing a police uniform..jumps out from no where right on the expressway stretching out his hands in a manner to stop the trailer...and immediately the trailer...stops..
But would the trailer have stopped if it were either you or I in mere plain clothes ?
..No ..it might rather clear us off the road ...So what stopped the trailer?
The police man?
Nope.
But ...
...The uniform he was wearing ...
That uniform by reason of the provision of the Constitution carries the power and authority to halt the biggest and fastest trailer or Lorry on the highway ...the size of the trailer is absolutely irrelevant to the authority the police uniform carries....
..........Difference between Power and Authority
An armed robber has power because he carries a gun ..so when he points the gun he doesn't need to shout ...he simply speaks and command you to lie flat and you obey ..without that gun he is powerless and useless ...but...he has no authority by the laws of the land and Constitution to carry the gun ..i
If the police man in his authorised uniform catches him he renders him powerless ...But a police man would carry same gun as the armed robber ...and have both power ..(Gun power)...and Authority ..(Uniform )
Moral Of the Gist ...
1....To reign in life you need both power and authority ...not just mere power only
2 ..The police man or woman does not beg ..they command ..likewise deliver your self from a beggarly life style ..as best possible as you can ...stop beging ..stop owing ..as best possible as you can pay all your debts ....because a beggar is a servant to the lender
3..Delete the mentality of a servant from your senses ..go learn a skill go add more intellectual property value to the knowledge you have already ..
Knowledge is Power ...The right application of that knowledge is ..wisdom ...Wisdom gives you Authority....you need both to reign as a king in your domain and a queen in your territory
4.Be a professional and be an authority in your field of skills and knowledge
5.Always bend your knees before God every day ...if you have authority with God ...you will have authority over men ...
